Not much has been going on with us lately...just the usual: work and school. Danny is actively working on his thesis with low-fat cheese and Vanessa is anxiously looking forward to graduating in the spring (the end is in sight!).
In mid-September we went camping with some friends up at Tony Grove Lake in Logan Canyon. We unfortunately didn't get to camp as much this summer as we were hoping, so it was good to get out and do that. Here are some pictures of the event:

I (Vanessa) was able to celebrate my 23rd birthday with my family this year! My mom came up and spent the weekend with us and we had a great time! We went to a quilt shop, went out to eat, traveled up Logan Canyon and got some fun pictures as a family. It was a good birthday!

We celebrated Halloween with some friends of ours here in Logan (the Grishams and the Huffmans) and had a good time! I (Vanessa) dressed up for Halloween at work and was visited by my adorable nephews, who dressed up as an M&M and a hobo (who will work for candy). They are so cute and I just love them so much! :)
Danny has been very busy hunting lately. He got 2 hunting tags (for deer and elk) and has been out hunting heavily during the past few weeks. Unfortunately, he didn't get a deer, but his elk tag is valid through the end of January, so he still has plenty of time to get that. He and his dad also went out pheasant hunting and had luck with ducks (3!), but no pheasants :( But Danny isn't one to get too down if he doesn't get anything; he likes being with family and being outside. Here are some picture of Danny enjoying the great outdoors with his dad:
Last weekend, my mother-in-law (Mardee) and I threw a bridal shower for Kristy, Danny's sister. She's getting married next month and it was so fun to throw her a shower! A lot of friends and family came and celebrated with us. Melissa (my sister-in-law) and I did a fun present for Kristy. We bought 20 standard grocery items (sugar, flour, dish soap, aluminum foil, etc) and had all of the guests guess the total cost for all of the items. We thought it was a good idea to give Kristy those essential items that are needed when you're first married.
Other than that, it's just been same old, same old in the Clayton house. We're excited for this holiday season!
